The GOP's Worst Nightmare

[Capt Dizle]

Oh, and collective punishment. Probably over the line but then it's a tough call.

At some point you have to make the people who support terror pay a price.

[Boris Godunov]

Sadly, however, such punishment often hits people who don't support terror, as the last instance of such action demonstrated.

Actually, I fail to see any rational reason as to why you'd want to vote for Bush. I hope an intelligent Republican will pop in and explain why he intends to vote Bush.

[DinoDoc]

Lack of any inspiring alternative.

[Spiffor]

This is actually a very valid reason, except that I think anybody is more inspiring than Bush, except maybe an ananas or something.

[DinoDoc]

I'm not part of the "Anybody but Bush" crowd so I actually have to have a reason to vote for someone other than the fact they aren't Bush.

I don't see any candidates that make me want to change my vote so far.

[Berzerker]

But not being Bush is a reason to vote for someone else

[DinoDoc]

It really isn't a reason to vote for them though.

Recall that today there was a story in the British newspaper The Independent which said that malnutrition in the Palestinian occupied territories had reached 'sub-Saharan standards'.

I guess they are waiting for those checks from that underling at Iraqi foreign dept. fourth floor.

Nevertheless I think that the situation is now moving into territory which would really demand intervention of some kind or another.

Sure it is, most people vote for the evil of two lessers...I mean the lesser of two evils. You're supporting Bush because he isn't Kerry.

[Imran Siddiqui]

your reasoning involved changing the definitions of the terms, which of course is a patently ludicrous way to argue.

It is done in just about every thread on this site dealing with communism/capitalism, abortion, etc, etc. It's to show how fluid language is, where anything can really be changed if you can get people to agree.

A military man with a strong anti-corruption aganda. (anti-corruption was parhaps his fall?)

Yeh, Mr. Keating 5 has a strong anti-corruption agenda.

[Berzerker]

And he was an anti-porn crusader

[Imran Siddiqui]

I love how leftists say they like McCain. Some are consistant in realizing McCain is a BIG conservative, the others have no clue, but thinks he sounds good because the media told them so .

You can have personal integrity within a corrupt system. Once you get in you can't see out, your perspective is narrowed to see only one way. Looking at the outside from the inside.

On the outside, folks can only look in. So you have two extreme ends, like a long tube with people peering at each other. The truth is somewhere in the middle but we are too fat to fit in the tube.

Analogy of the day.

A political catheter?
